His attitude makes sense if she internalizes his, "Don't count on anyone but yourself" and "If it's a liability, leave it or get rid of it" attitude.

It's all just a matter of motivation and methods. And his motivations are in flux, he's floundering. Zara made sense, though.

He can't change it, so just accept it.

She said.

Yup!

Zara allowed her court to flux, easier now. She's usually seelie, but not militant about it.

Yeah. In a practical sense, though, her Unseelie is still not incompatible with her Seelie motivations. 🙂

Her unseelie wants to indulge, yup. That whisper in the ear, urging her to cast responsibility aside...

I THINK -- if he thinks it through -- Ice will still realize these changes are temporary, and finding a girl, indulging, will be bad when autumn comes around again and he finds his interest in taking up the gauntlet coming back. You suppose?

Well, he still plans to help her with THAT. 😄

I think Zara is ready for riding lessons!

Ha!

Risk-averse Zara.

Now, a vespa?

Although after she wipes out once or twice, learning, would she...exactly

Vespa does not appeal to the testosterone!

But, I can see her using it. A grey or silver one.

(afk to make coffee and grab laundry)

especially a vintage one, yeah

She would need a skinny scarf and big sunglasses. She gets the Vespa, Ice will get her those. 🙂

Wheeee

So italian!

beep beep

Heheh! With the ivory cigarette holder.

Or is that French?

Hm.

But yeah. Z will either be in a vespa, or... hunh. 16th birthday coming up.

Sweet sixteen.

Yup

Back. Ish.

and she's.. well, let's be honest - a JAP. She's getting a car.

g Cars can't weave through traffic and piss off people stuck in it.

Agreed

Ask August, it's exhilarating, isn't it?

...a subaru?

Maybe a ploddy little honda

NOT exhilarating. TERRIFYING.

BMW convertible?

Same thing!

I don't think Zara will get a fast car. Nope. SAFE, bubbalah! Look at the crash ratings!

Convertible with a roll cage and rollbar.

Ice argues. Look at racecar drivers.

Maybe a Volvo

No wonder Zara is like she is. He blames her parents.

Kids these days!

Bubble wrap?

Bubble wrap. g Yes

Risk is okay, if it is CALCULATED risk, Ice thinks. Unnecessary risk, bad. But if the payoff is worth it?

Motorcycles = maneuverability

Volvo =- stuck in traffic
